What has been interesting is what people's profit expectations have been. It varies considerably. The pasceievd valve.

 

I'm going to not say what I quoted,

 

 

Selfish.

 

A shame you feel like that, especially given the amount of time and effort the other posters put into the thread!

 

What was the name of the thread again? Oh, the irony.

Fair comment. Don't ask of other what you're not prepared to do yourself.

He thinks everyone on here is greedy and making mega bucks when it all boils down to the fact of our overheads I'm sure most of us that gave a figure has atleast one man to employ and insurances yard rent etc. what's happened here is a subbie that probably charges company's £100-£120 a day has thought I'd happily do this for £180-£200 my unemployed pal will work for £50 and even better I have no waste to take away as I only own a corsa. I bet he didn't put anymore than 300-400 on it.

In fairness I'd have put 3-400 on it. Weekender, cash in hand. Two lads on the deck, me with kit and big saws.

 

I personally don't see anything wrong with that. Crash and Dash jobs like that are well suited for a weekend job where no transit/chipper is needed.

 

Never done a foreigner before?

Scum like us will get our come uppance, for sure.

 

Until then I'll be smiling with my 20% cheaper beer.

 

Edit: think I saw you at the Show, I introduced myself to Bolam, wasn't until after I left I realised who you guys probably were.

 

Hi there, I'm belated Joe!

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it we've all done the cash jobs it's how he sees that everyone else had gone in for maximum profit which isn't the case.

Tbh I couldn't give a toss who charges what. I make a living.

 

The fact that the OP blatantly takes everybody's price on board then refuses to publish what he's put on it, is what bugs me.
